The Path to Temperance: Organizations and Ascension

The chaotic and lethal emergence of a @Wild Psion is not necessarily a permanent state. Through immense discipline, rigorous mental conditioning, and specialized tutelage, a @Wild Psion can learn to construct psychic shields, focus their will, and stabilize their connection to the Nethereal, thus becoming a @Tempered Psion . This transformation is the only known path to surviving one's own power without causing widespread destruction. However, finding such training is perilously difficult, as the organizations capable of providing it are few, secretive, and often possess agendas that extend far beyond mere education.

The most ideologically open, yet physically isolated, of these organizations is the @Order Omega, led by its revered founder and grandmaster @Rauvin Karr . This secret society, formed from the ashes of the Endless Unity's most potent psionic corps, operates from the nethereal nexus of the rogue planet @Nyfal . The Order dedicates itself to guiding the proliferation of psionic ability, believing it to be the next step in the evolution of consciousness. They offer sanctuary and knowledge to any psion who can find them, but the journey itself is a test; @Nyfal lies far beyond civilized space, and the navigational charts to reach it are among the galaxy's most closely guarded secrets. Those who succeed in reaching the Order receive training from some of the most powerful and experienced psions in known space, free from the political dictates and persecutions of major galactic powers.

In contrast, the @Ashen Remnant offers a path steeped in bitterness and fervent belief. Comprised of the scarred survivors of FORCE Omega, this organization serves as an extension of its founder, the enigmatic @Sigreon Calath , the self-styled Lord of @The Burning Throne . While the Remnant's teachers are supremely capable, having been forged in the fires of the War of the Chosen, their instruction is never given freely. It is always aligned with the will of their master and his grand, inscrutable design to break the old galactic order and lead humanity to divine ascension. Their primary facilities are located on the smoldering world of @Sekharos and other hidden bastions, all situated beyond the borders of civilized space and accessible only to those who have proven their worth and obtained the requisite, secretive charts.

The most accessible, yet doctrinally rigid, training is provided by the @Light's Sacred Inquisition of the @Mandate of Light . Their various headquarters and citadels are spread throughout Mandate-controlled space, finding them is a simple matter of traveling to any core system. However, their teachings are exclusively reserved for the @Lightblessed —psions whose power is not innate, but a gift forged through fanatical devotion to the Evenlord. While the Inquisition's methods produce potent and disciplined psions, they are generally considered lesser teachers compared to the masters of the @Order Omega or the @Ashen Remnant , as their focus is on doctrinal purity and unwavering faith over a deep, masterful understanding of the Nethereal's raw, untamed nature. It is a documented, though exceedingly rare, phenomenon that even a individual born without psionic potential can, through decades of dedicated and fanatical service, curry enough favor with the Inquisition and its divine master to be granted the agonizing gift of becoming @Lightblessed . Unconfirmed rumors suggest that the Lord of the Burning Throne, @Sigreon Calath , may have once performed a similar bestowal of power upon his most faithful servants, though these claims remain unverified, adding to the ominous legend that surrounds him.
